Summary
NOTE: This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
The CREATE procedure is used to define a new structured or unstructured disk file. The file can be
temporary (and therefore automatically deleted when closed) or permanent. When a temporary
file is created, CREATE returns its file name in a form suitable for passing to the OPEN procedure.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be used for
new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with previous software.
